Fox seems to be more than a little curious about the layers to our lives that I’ve shared with her. There’s a silence for a few minutes as the machine hums a high pitch frequency, and she shades in the eye sockets of the skull design.

“Are you still sharing?” She asks quietly. Eyes averted.

“No.” I tell her with all the sincerity I can pack into that one little word. I don’t dare examine why, or what it means, or that I can’t stand the thought of going a single day without hearing this girl’s voice and getting to brush my lips against her soft mouth.

But here we are.

Fox is perfection, and she’s ours.

“So, none of you have plans to visit the club anytime soon?”

“Baby girl, other than in a professional capacity, we haven’t been to the club for a long time.” My mind tries to quickly calculate how long it’s actually been for any of us…eight months? Maybe more? “And unless you say the word and want to go, I can tell you right now, none of us will be going again.”

Her blue eyes lock with mine. “You would want me to go with you?”

“It is technically yours, you know.” The urge to grab her and kiss that bewildered expression off her face is incredibly strong.

I’d follow this girl anywhere she asked me to, even though she seems intent on disbelieving me on that front.

A furrow forms in her brow and I see the tiniest flash of fear arise before she hastily looks away. “Would you want to share me with others…at the club, I mean.” Fox goes back to intently focusing on my tattoo.

Oh, fuck that for a joke.

The low growl comes out on instinct. “Look at me.” It’s almost impossible not to launch up off this seat, but I don’t want to destroy the art she’s inking into my skin.

Wide eyes meet my own.

“You belong to us. You’re mine. Understood?”

Her plush lips press together, and she practically glows hearing the possessiveness in my voice. God, I want to see the way she lights up like that every damn day. It’s followed by a tiny quirk that tugs at the corner of her perfect mouth.

“So…that’s a no on the sharing, then?”

A laugh barks out of me. “You’re lucky I’m the one who enjoys stirring up shit around here; if it was Thorne, he’d take that bratty attitude and punish your sweet little ass.”

There’s zero remorse in her gorgeous smile, and I selfishly eat up every radiant drop of her satisfaction. If there’s one thing I know, it’s that Fox is stunning at any time, but especially so when that flicker of relaxed happiness blesses her features.

I might just make it my mission to find out the myriad of ways to make it happen every damn day.

“I’m deadly serious, no one else touches you, Fox.” My finger hooks a curl of her hair, tugging gently toward me so I can drink in another hit of those bright blue eyes that haunt my dreams.

“Ok.” She gives me a soft look. One that immediately has my obsession with this girl spiraling high amongst rainbow fucking clouds.

My girl goes back to working on my ink while I’m preening like a puffed-up goddamn peacock at the thought of getting to keep something so unbelievably special, like I’ve won first place without even trying.

Fox pauses to wipe my thigh, and dips the needle in more ink. “Well, you can all enjoy keeping your dicks to yourselves for a little bit.” She hits me with her best no-nonsense expression. “I started my period this afternoon.”

Seeing how serious she looks has me biting my tongue to prevent myself from falling apart with laughter.

Oh, this girl has a lot to learn about the creatures who wander this place at night.

The black screen illuminates in front of me, with the lines of ominous white text that have consumed my thoughts all day.

It’s an encrypted message. One that Hawke and I have run through all our known codes to confirm the source, and yet I already know exactly where it originated from within the Anguis.

What I want to do is invite them to the basement at Noire House and interrogate them one by one until I have every blood-soaked piece of evidence I require.
